Smells Like Teen Spirit

Patti Smith, Originally by Nirvana

Holy fuck. Love.

Yeah, it’s pretty cool, but how did she figure out all the words?  I didn’t even think Kurt knew what they were.

I’m sure some were made up on the way.  Just like if anyone ever covered Pearl Jam’s Yellow Ledbetter.  I am pretty sure Eddie purposefully wrote that song to not have coherent lyrics.

“Regarding the song, Vedder said in an online chat that it was written around the time of the Gulf War, and added that “it’s an anti-patriotic song, actually.”^[10] On August 7, 2008, at a solo performance in Newark, New Jersey at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Vedder took a question from the audience requesting that he explain the meaning of “Yellow Ledbetter”. At first, Vedder joked, saying, “Wait…you mean there’s lyrics?” He went on to talk about how the song took as its subject a friend of his from Seattle whose brother served in the first Gulf War. His friend received a “yellow letter” in the mail informing him that his brother had died in the war. Vedder and his friend then went for a walk. On this walk, the friend, whom Vedder described as “alternative-looking,” happened by a house with an American flag flying, and people on the porch. He stopped and gestured to the flag, as if to salute it, however the people on the porch glared at him disapprovingly due to his appearance.” (wiki)

    I second the “love”. Also, she may have gotten the words from those Moulin Rouge folks. Just sayin’.

    Okay, so there’s meaning to the song, but I still don’t understand half of the lyrics. Damned good song, though.
